Hokusai 'The Great Wave of Kanagawa'
One of our friends presented the country of Japan at our 'Terrific Tuesday' get together. Each child takes a certain Tuesday to feature a country of their choice. We participated in several stations that he had planned. The stations were painting japanese symbols, writing haiku poetry, an oragami station and also coloring a picture of a famous japanese work of art (which I will post here).
Hannah and I composed Haikus:
Mine was entitled
"A Tree"
The strength of a tree
Roots, Trunk, Bark, Branches and Leaves
Gently Protecting
Hers was
"Rollerblading"
I love rollerblades
I have a heart to skate...love it!
Woooooooo (in 5 syllables) :)
Our Oragami choice consisted of making the simplest of the designs: a butterfly! My favorite is the crane, but it takes a little longer to fold. Hannah also made a cat. You can read about the story of the Japanese Crane here:
